Customer Reviews SOREL Conquest™ Carly

Love these!!! I went up 1/2 size to a size 9 and am glad I did. I can wear a thicker sock and put in a footpad for extra warmth. I get compliments every time I wear them and they ask where I got them. Zappos of course. My first choice shoe shopping place.

I love the look. They have light fleece lined feet and a smooth liner on the leg so pants don't bind up. They have some warmth but generally do not make my feet overheat indoors. For me they run nearly a half size small. The seams around the foot are not of great quality and bulge inward so they tend to rub and make the fit tighter in my true size 7.5. So I ended up with the 8 and in a thin wool sock, but they fit too big in some respects. I do have older pairs in the short and tall from several years ago and they are 7.5 and fit perfectly. The quality used to be better. But I still love the look and people always notice them.

I like these boots but don't love them. They will be great for winter, but: - I haven't fully broken them in yet, but as of now they are pretty uncomfortable and i have some scars on my feet from these rubbing them the wrong way. - inside is rough/burlap-py...not cozy. Need nice socks. - hard to slip on and off - you really have to undo all the laces to get your foot in and then lace them back up again.

Excellent boots. They are very true to size and the calf diameter can be changed enough to fit my quite narrow calves. I am very satisfied!

Absolutely adore these boots and received many compliments while wearing them! We just got back from Colorado and they did just fine in the snow. I also own Sorel Cate the Great boots. My Cate's are more playing in the snow boots whereas my Carly's are more hit the town type of boots (meaning they dont have the rugged look that my Cate's have). I was hesitant about buying the Carly's due to the reviews. Yes, if you have tiny calves they might be big. I am a size 6 and they fit perfect. I love them and would highly recommend them.

These boots are incredibly cute and for the most part quite comfortable. I did notice a little rubbing on parts of my ankles, but thicker socks would've probably made it unnoticeable. Unfortunately, they were just too much of a pain to get on and off easily. It was a hard decision to send them back!

I love these boots. Perfect for skinny jeans and snow. They keep wet out, run a little larger then size (so you have room for an extra pair of socks), protect your upper leg. I would buy Sorel again in a second, even if they are a little higher priced.

When I first got my Conquest Carly boots, I was in love! They were a little big so I put in a sherpa insert (this also helped because they are unlined and not all that warm for such wintery boots). I wore them everywhere! But I have recently become very disappointed in them. First one of the grommets that held on the under the sole strap broke, and then a few months later the one on the other boot also broke. (The first was my fault for snagging it, the second just happened while walking.) For boots at this price, this is completely unacceptable. And recently I noticed the wood-look veneer on the heel has started to crack and break off on both feet. I've only had these boots for a year, and I didn't wear them for 8 months of that while I was trying to figure out how to fix the broken grommet. Lastly, the soles are very slippery on wet or icy surfaces. The boots are very cute and pretty comfortable (although heavy). I was just very disappointed in the quality for such an expensive shoe.

I really like this style boot but reading further into reviews didn't like what I was reading about these falling apart. I need something that can withstand rain sleet snow and ice. Buckle at back of boot was jabbing my leg.

I cannot say enough about Zappos' customer service. I had such a difficult time deciding between these boots and another, but with the way in which they do exchanges it made my decision painless. Unfortunately, once I had decided on these boots I wore them once and the strap that wraps around the bottom broke. I called Zappos and was really disappointed but again with the customer service they had a new pair in my hands the next day. I am very happy with these boots no sign of the straps breaking again. They are true to size although I may recommend going a bit bigger so that you can wear thick socks. Not the warmest unless you have comfy socks on. I have gotten so many compliments including random people I don't even know. Am so happy with this shopping experience and my boots! You guys at Zappos are the best!

There is a lot going on with this style - very busy look to the boot overall. Also doesn't look like the strap or the wood veneer heel will survive for long in inclement weather so I returned it. As for fit, I recommend ordering up a half size -- seems to run a bit short.

I ordered these for my sister for Xmas. After reading the reviews saying order down in size, I ordered a half size down. Way too small! She wears a 9, and a ordered a 9, and she loves them.

Love these boots. But they run small have to return for larger size. I have a pair of Sorel boots in a size 7. They are a little big. So I order these in a 7 - a little small.

I bought these less than a month ago, and the lace snapped already. I have only worn them maybe 10 times. I sent a note to customer service to see if I could replace them, with no response. I was otherwise pleased with my purchase but am not too happy with the lack of response from this company.

These boots are so well made, I am very happy I purchased them. I get many compliments when I am out and about. They also make my size 9 1/2-10 size feet look smaller because of the quality of the design.

I'm so happy I got these when I did, because now I see that there are not many left in stock... and the reason is, these boots are BEAUTIFUL! They are versatile no matter what type of 'look' you're going for, and also very functional. The only thing negative I noticed was that the heal (where the leather meets the rubber) kinda sticks out on the inside, but maybe the leather will stretch a bit? Either way, these have such a cool look and comfy feel all around that that's just a minor point. LOVE!

Love these boots! I wear them pretty much every single day during the winter. I love the style, it's not your regular snow boot, it's pretty stylish and you can wear them anywhere! They got here super fast too! It was only 2 days before they got here and I chose standard shipping. I did, however, feel they ran half a size small and were a little tight in the beginning, but now they fit perfectly, although it wouldn't hurt to go half a size larger. Also, it is sort of a pain to put them on and take them off since there are shoelaces and they get pretty tight around the ankles.

These are virtually perfect winter boots if you are looking for style and function. I wore them during the recent Polar Vortex snow extravaganza in Chicago and my feet were toasty warm and dry. My only criticism is that they are a bit difficult to take off.

I think these are probably one of the cutest pairs of winter/snow boots that I have seen, so they if that is a factor for you, then definitely consider these. I think they look really cute with jeans or leggings, or you could wear them with a casual skirt and tights, too. Because of the laces, they can pulled in so they fit skinny calfs in a snug way, which is another bonus. I found them to be waterproof and perfect acceptable to wear on a cold, snowy winter day. My feet stayed warm and dry, though you do need warm socks since the inside is lacking a warm lining. These are also pretty comfortable and they are high enough that you probably will not get rain or snow inside your boots/ on your ankles they way you sometimes do with shorter boots. My only caution is that these can be a pain to get on and off, especially if you have a really high arch and the top of your foot naturally arcs up. I almost returned them for that reason, and then I read another review where the reviewer stated that loosening the laces can help. I tried unlacing mine all the way down and was able to get them on and off with ease. No more struggle! That is kind of a pain to do, but worth it for the cute look in my opinion. But if you want boots you can easily tug on and off and you have a high arch, then maybe think twice. I went up half a size based on reviews and they are a bit big. I would say to order your usual size. I have wide feet and did not find these to be narrow at all.

It's always tough ordering shoes online not knowing how they'll fit, however I'm glad I took the plunge and ordered these! They are true-to-size. I love them so much I wore them out on the day I received them! I really appreciate that they can be dressed up or down and are built to with-stand the snow, slush, & ice to and from the car while shopping, etc.

These just helped me survive a frigid a Boston nor'easter. They're not fur-lined, but I chose that purposely so I can wear them into spring. My feet finally got cold after 30 minutes outside at 6 degrees - and my feet are ALWAYS cold, so I consider this a selling point. They ARE tough to get on, especially if you have high arches like I do, but I just unlace them down to the third eyelet and it eliminates the frustration. They look great, which is a plus. Worth every penny!

Based on other reviews I size down to an 8 1/2 (usually a 9). I'm from California and don't typically deal with extreme winters. I would not recommend sizing down if you want to wear socks. The smaller size works well for me as I prefer to have my leggings cover part of my feet as appose to wearing bulky socks. That being said I wore them around in Iowa (-8 at night and snowing when I was there! ) and these were perfectly insulated for me. Didn't need the socks or extra fur to stay warm. The added bonus? Super cute and fashionable with leggings and a sweater! I absolutely love these. Only four stars in comfort and they aren't the easiest boot to get off by yourself! Practically have to unlace the whole boot, but that might be due to the smaller size too. Lucky to have a husband who's always willing to help with boot removal. :)

These are stylish and are totally getting me through the Chicago winter! I normally wear an 8 and I bought an 8 because these don't have the super-wide bottoms other Sorel boots have. I probably could have gone down to a 7.5, but by tightening the laces and wearing thick socks, my foot doesn't slide around.

Adorable, but as other reviews have said, not the typical Sorel winter boot, more like a rain boot on the bottom, and a canvas/leather upper. I thought they were true to size, I am typically between 7 1/2-8, I ordered the 8 and they are perfect, I can comfortably wear medium thickness ski socks for extra warmth, or thinner socks for more all-day comfort. They are perfect for apres ski, shoveling the car out, or walking to the store when it is slushy and gross out, but for snowshoeing / actual winter activities in the snow for extended periods of time I will be sticking to my insulated winter boots. My only "complaint" is that they take a bit of effort for me to get my foot in/out, but I tend to have stiff ankles, so I have this issue with a lot of non-zipped tall boots.

Wanted to love these... was concerned they were too small so I ordered an 8.5, which essentially seemed like it was the same length but wider, especially in the heel, so I stuck with the 8's. I bought Ugg insoles to put in them because they were a) too roomy in the heel, b) did not keep my feet warm at all, and c) they weren't cozy and didn't provide enough support.. so the Ugg insoles made a huge difference, especially with warmth! The reason why I have to send them back is because where the leather and the rubber meet seems to be coming unglued, after only wearing them for a day! NOT acceptable for them being this cost of boots. So my search for cute, comfortable, warm, weatherproof boots that aren't clunky and acceptable for wearing to work or out for drinks continues.
